Settling Your Family in a New Home

28/05/2018

Moving to a new house with kids in tow can be a bit of a nightmare. Right from the beginning, there’s a lot more to consider. First, you need to decide how many bedrooms you want, thinking very carefully about any future offspring, whether or not you want your kids to share and whether you’d like a guest room or some spare space for toys and all of the extra stuff that kids bring to your home. Then, the move itself is much harder. You can’t pack too much of their stuff in advance because they need everything. You’re not allowed to part with anything, because that toy that they haven’t set ... read more

Baby Balancing – A Crash Course in Raising Twins

15/05/2018

Experiencing the first ultrasound in a pregnancy is a magical moment for both the mother and father.  For a small majority of us, that moment will also come with a rush of mild panic if the ultrasound tech finds two heartbeats! Having twins is a blessing and I feel so grateful everyday for my two wee ones.  However, let’s be honest, the months leading up to preparing to welcome not one but TWO babies into our lives included some panic, lots of preparation and a lot of wondering if I could handle it all.  If you are expecting twins and you are feeling overwhelmed with how to cope, then read ... read more

DJs Play Park – Soft play in Hemel Hempstead

16/10/2017

DJ's Play Park Hemel Hempstead Jarman Square

Soft Play is one of those worlds that you don't encounter until you have children. But once you do have children you soon get to know what to look for in a soft play centre. Ever since Little Miss C was tiny we've been going to DJs Jungle in St Albans and both kids absolutely love it there. I was therefore thrilled to hear about the new sister soft play centre that they are about to open in Jarman Square (or Jarman Park as we oldies all know it!) in Hemel Hempstead - DJ's Play Park. The wonderful thing about DJs for me is that it is run buy someone who actually has kids. Helen and her ... read more

Celebrating the weekend with Weekend Box and Snazaroo

20/09/2017

Weekend Box Snazaroo

Parenting can be tough at times. Especially if your kids seem to think that you model yourself on that Pinterest and Instagram mum, who always has a new craft activity or similar lined up ready to do at a moment's notice. Reality is that your child is likely to ask to do something, you begrudgingly agree to their crafty ideas and start rummaging in drawers, cupboards and boxes to find everything they need. Half way through the project the child, or children, will suddenly declare that they need something else to complete their masterpiece so you then start plouging through the entire contents ... read more

Protect Your Kids From The Dangers Of Lyme Disease

13/09/2017

There’s nothing better than venturing outside with your kids and seeing them enjoying the great outdoors, frolicking in the park, jumping in puddles and crunching the early autumn leaves underfoot. However, there is an underlying threat that we rarely consider as it is nearly invisible to the naked eye: the tick. More often than not, you’ve heard about ticks afflicting pets such as cats and dogs, but they can also bite humans especially in areas of parkland where your kids enjoy playing. Ticks can be carriers of Lyme disease, a hugely debilitating illness that can cause muscle pain, swollen ... read more

The Family That Cooks Together, Stays Together

04/08/2017

We usually think of the kitchen as a place where adults prepare meals and children just grab snacks, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, it might be better if it’s not that way: studies have shown that there are a host of benefits to getting the whole family involved in the cooking process, including improved family bonds, greater child responsibility, and healthier meals. If you think it might be time for your child to roll up their sleeves and help you in the kitchen, read on: we have a bunch of reasons that will (hopefully) convince them it’s the right thing to do.

Teaching Children The Importance Of Values And Character Development

04/08/2017

If you’re a parent and wondering what’s the right age to teach your children morals and how to behave with other people, it may be sooner than you think. Many parents often feel as if they don’t want to have long talks about values with their children until they have a reasonable mental capacity to fully understand what they’re teaching. However, children are given far less credit than they should be, because their minds may be young, but they absorb lessons like a sponge. You should start as soon as they can comprehend the basics of life, and the necessity of human interaction with the other ... read more
